The South Carolina football season is just a week away, and the cheers from Williams-Brice Stadium can almost be heard from here. The Gamecocks kick things off with a September 4th matchup against Eastern Illinois to begin a slate that will be one of the nation’s toughest, and fans are showing their excitement by buying up season tickets in support of Shane Beamer.

While the Gamecocks are eager to see a fresh start under Beamer and his new staff, expectations remain somewhat low for the team in 2021.
